I work on the economic history of modern Europe, with a focus on Britain and Germany after the First World War. My research interests include the history of political economy, finance, and geopolitics.
My first book, The City’s Defense: The Bank of England and the Remaking of Economic Governance, 1914–1939, was published with Cambridge University Press in 2025. It shows how the Bank maintained the status of the City of London as an global financial center between the two world wars. The research for this project was awarded the Economic History Society’s Monograph Prize in 2026.
I am currently working on two book projects: a financial history of modern Germany, and another on the evolution of austerity and budgetary politics in twentieth-century Europe.
My past research has appeared in the Business History Review, Central European History, Contemporary British History, Contemporary European History, and the Financial History Review. I have received support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Embassy of France’s Chateaubriand Fellowship, the Anglo-Austrian Society, the Prussian Privy State Archives, and Harvard Business School.
Currently, I am a lecturer and postdoctoral associate in the Program on Ethics, Politics and Economics at Yale University, where I am a faculty affiliate on the European Studies Council. Previously, I was a junior research fellow at Wadham College, Oxford. I received a PhD and MA from Princeton University and a BA from Vanderbilt University.
